I too was burgled a few years back…. The person who did it was later dangled out of the window of his flat and dropped, wish I could say it had something to do with me but it didn’t. However I didn’t loose any sleep over it and I still didn’t get my stuff back as the low life had already sold most of it on to feed his habit!!!!!
What a beautiful looking aircraft Melvyn, look forward to seeing it out and about.

What is it you are hoping to do with your work experience or any long term goals you are hoping to acheive from this??? How mobile are you (do you have a car, prepared to stay away from home etc)???
Interesting one Steve, would it be possible you could post the pic, I’ve not seen a pic of this machine for years now, be interesting to see what condition it’s in these days.
